Munchie Mug Review and Giveaway

How many times have you had to vacuum your carpet or vacuum out your car because of all the little snack spills that happen? I know I have more times than I can even count. I was very lucky to be chosen to review the Muchie mug. I'm not sure how I lived without this all my life. The Munchie Mug is a roomy container with a patented spill-resistant lid. The lid design allows for your child's hand to go in and out to grab a snack but does not allow the snacks to spill if the cup is dropped or held upside down.

I love the lid options. The Munchie Mug also comes with another lid to attach when the snack is being stored so your snack will stay fresh. The lid is very parent friendly to remove and attach however, your little one will not have success with removing it.

Even though, I was told this product is more geared for the older preschool children, I was able to teach my 11 month old how to use it in about 5 minutes. I also allowed my older children to use the Munchie Mug. This eliminated the mess in my back seat.

I also love the fact that Munchie Mug is made right here in the USA and made of 100% recycled materials.

Buy it: You can purchase Munchie Mug for $12.95

Win It: One lucky reader will win a Munchie Mug in your choice of color

Mystic Wonder Balls Review and Giveaway

In these economic times, everyone is trying to find ways to cut corners and save some money. I am a mother of 3 and a wife. Doing laundry for a family of 5 is not cheap. In a month, I use 2 bottles of 170 oz. 3x concentrated laundry soap. This soap at Costco runs me $19.00 a bottle. In addition, I use about 1 entire bottle of stain treater at 3.70 per bottle and a box of dryer sheets at 5.00 a box. So in one month I spend almost $47.00. I do not have much of an option on laundry product because my son has serious skin allergies.

Also, I am trying to be as eco-friendly as possible. I have made many household changes to help in the go green process.

I was honored to try the Wonder Ball System, however I was quite skeptical. I have always used smelly detergent so that my clothes smelt clean. With the Wonder Ball, it is not necessary to use any detergent. When I got the Wonder Ball, the ultimate test was my 2 oldest children's camp T-shirts. My son is not a neat child. In the first few days of summer camp, the counselors allowed my son to paint with acrylic paint (not washable)!! The Wonder Ball site says that it will remove old set in stains in 3-4 washings.

Well I've never seen such a wonderful product. After 3 washings, most of the paint was gone. By washing 7, there was only one small red spot of puffy paint left. I was amazed. I have since gone detergent free. The best thing ever is that the set will last about 3 years. Imagine the savings!!

Also, the dryer balls are amazing. It is not necessary to use a dryer sheet. I do like to use 1/2 just for the fresh smell. But the balls remove all the static and leave your clothes soft and fluffy.

So, I bet you are wondering how the Wonder Ball works?
There is a special frequency enhanced mineral formula in the ball. When the ball is agitated in the washing machine, there is an energy field created within the ball. It appears when the water molecules meet up with this the surface tension disperses. The water now can do the best in cleaning the fibers of any fabric. It is the water that does the cleaning. Through physics, not chemicals, you will get outstanding results.

Buy it:
The Complete Laundry System can be purchased for $50. However, all my readers can get the CLS at a 25% discount buy entering luvnlife25 in the comment box when ordering.

OR...

Win it: Fern at Mystic Wonders is awesome and offered 6 lucky readers a chance to win. The first winner will receive the Complete Laundry System, which includes 1 laundry ball and 2 dryer balls. Winners 2-6 will receive the 1 year laundry ball.

Mandatory Entry: Head over to Mystic Wonders and tell me what other product you would like to try.

Spa Time Baby Review and Giveaway




What mom doesn't enjoy every single bath time with her child? I know that I love giving my little one her bath everyday. However, the splashing water only gets worse as the baby gets older. I know that most days, I look just as wet as she does. Well, Spa Time Baby has the perfect solution for all your bath time needs.


One of the best features, that sets Spa Time Baby ahead of others, is the waterproof liner. The outside layer is soft terry cloth and the inside (closest to mom) is a waterproof layer. The wonderful invention keeps mom dry while baby get to splash her heart out.

I was lucky enough to try the Spa Time Mat and Spa Time Cloth. The mat was wonderful. It is thick, long and soft. I put it in my lap and I stayed dry. After the bath, I was able to wrap her up completely. The mat was big enough for my 11 month old. After drying off, we were able to play on the mat with no diaper. I didn't have to worry about a pee pee accident because the mat will absorb it.







The Spa Time Cloth was also wonderful. Emma really liked the Cloth. Not only did we use it as a washcloth, we also used it as a hat, Frisbee, and a chew toy. She didn't play with any other toy in the tub. I believe that the bright, vibrant colors really attracted her attention.






These products were designed by an average mom, just like us, who wanted to enjoy bath time with her baby again.










Buy It: If you can't wait to own your own wonderful Spa Time products, you can head over to Spa Time Baby and get your own. Use the code STB2 for a 35% discount.

Win It: One lucky reader will win ANY product of your choice (excluding Spa Time Baby gift sets, spa sets, tummytub stool sets, & monogramming).

Mandatory Entry: Head over to Spa Time Baby and tell me what you would pick if you won AND sign up for Spa Time Babies newsletter.

Ouchies Band Aids Review and Giveaway

Being a mom of two rough children, boo boos happen almost everyday. Band aids are a hot commodity in my house. Almost every Wal-Mart trip involved getting band aids. However, my children are too old for the cartoon type Band Aids, so we settled for the plain old beige color.

This is why I was so excited when I discovered Ouchies Teen Ages Bandaids. These band aids are great all around. They offer a selection of 5 different patterns in both boy and girl styles. In addition to that, they also have a make your own band aid that includes three permanent markers. Any child can express his or personality with ease using these band aids.

Ouchies was designed by a father who was completely disappointed in the selection of band aids available. With a bit of encouragement, Ouchies was born.

The Ouchies are called Teen Ages but I feel they are perfect for tweens too. My children, one boy and one girl, went crazy over them. They began to make up boo boos just to get open a different design. My daughter is the family artist so she went crazy with the Make Your Own.
I like the thickness of Ouchies. They seem to have more thickness than a regular band aid so if the wound it hit again, it doesn't seem to hurt as much. The Ouchies also stayed on for quite sometime in the pool. I didn't notice any redness or irritation where the band aid was once it was removed.
Ouchies also come in a reusable tin, not a cardboard box. The tin will last much longer and can be used for other things once the Ouchies are gone.
BUY: If you cant wait for the giveaway to end, you can purchase Ouchies for $5.00
OR
WIN: One lucky reader will receive 3 boxes of Ouchies~1 Girl, 1 Boy, and 1 Make Your Own
